I've bought my Canon UW housing in Amazon.com at a very good price.
You need to buy the exact housing for your camera. There is no universal housing.
Besides, if your camera is rather old, perhaps it's hard to find the exact housing. Perhaps you should buy a new set (camera + housing).
Here is the exact model that I have - power shot SD890 IS. I'm very happy on ground w/ this model above ground.
Thanks

Go to the Canon page, search for the Canon accesories for your camera. Look for the UW case. Perhaps there is no UW case, as Canon only does UW cases for some models, not all.
Canon UW Housings are rated 40 mts. Ikelite housings are rated 60 mts.
Ike UW Housings are toughter than Canon UW housing, but also heavier and bigger and more expensive.
Ikelite post-sale service seems to be better than Canon service. It has been mentioned somewhere here that Ike buttons has some alignment problems, but things that were solved by Ike service.
It's just my opinion, folks ... ___________________________ " ... when you finally see what goes on underwater, you realize that you've been missing the whole point of the ocean. Staying on the surface all the time is like going to the circus and staring at the outside of the tent. "

I don't mean to highjack this thread, but I'm in the position of not being able to find a shell for my Canon A710 IS. The Canon shell (WP-DC6) is nowhere to be found and Ikelite apparently no longer produces a shell for this camera.
Where do you guys generally go in this situation? EBay+luck as luckydays mentioned? Or is there some other option beyond Canon and Ikelite?
